Marc Marquez took part in a special appointment in Spain. Many faces from the show and some MotoGP colleagues were present.
Over the past weekend, the attention of the Spanish media was especially focused on the Jerez Cathedral, where there were many well-known faces from the show and MotoGP riders, including Marc Marquez and his brother Alex. We have seen the images of the multiple Honda champion in an elegant suit, as if he were destined for the altar. But the marriage was not his, but that of a great friend of his.
In fact, the eight-time world champion did not want to miss the wedding of the son of what he considers his “big boss”, Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna, who holds the position of managing director of the company promoting the World Championship. In the Spanish town it was held the wedding of Lidia Acín and Carlos Ezpeleta, sporting director of Dorna Sports. Many well-known faces from the business world were present, but also the famous Spanish influencer Maria Pombo.

The couple said “yes, I do” in Jerez cathedral last Saturday morning. The groom was dressed in a suit, gray waistcoat, light shirt and burgundy tie, he arrived at the cathedral accompanied by the godmother, dressed in a red dress and a white shawl. “Yesterday was the best day of my life“, wrote Carlos Ezpeleta on Instagram the day after the big ceremony. But Marc Marquez wasn’t the only one representing the MotoGP paddock, with several compatriots who kept him company.
They were also at the wedding Maverick Vinalesthe brothers Pablo and Gelete Nieto, Fonsi Nieto (of the Pramac Racing team) and dad Carmelo Ezpeleta. The party continued until late with dancing, music and a lot of fun, also crowning an amazing season for the MotoGP, capable of putting on a great show right up to the last round in Valencia. This time, the world champion was won by the Italian rider Pecco Bagnaia on the Ducati Desmosedici, after a long Spanish domination interrupted last year by the French Fabio Quartararo.
Now Marc Marquez is about to face the winter break to definitively re-stabilize his right arm, after the fourth surgery on the humerus last June 2 in the USA. The goal is to be in top form to return to contending for the World Championship, but concrete answers are needed from Honda, which will have to provide him with a RC213V competitive and capable of keeping up with her rivals, who have grown exponentially during her “intermittent” absence since the dramatic accident in Jerez in 2020.
